Connect via developer API

Using Zendesk with AI Phone

Send Zendesk contacts into AI Phone as leads through the developer API when you want an AI agent to call them. AI Phone does not create Zendesk tickets.

Key capabilities

Send Zendesk contacts to AI Phone as leads through the developer API
Relay through Zapier or Make without code
AI agent outreach with Auto Campaigns
Call records kept in the AI Phone dashboard

Quick answer

AI Phone does not have a native Zendesk integration and does not create, update, or comment on Zendesk tickets. If you want an AI agent to call someone from Zendesk, a Zendesk webhook or a Zapier or Make step can create that person as a lead in AI Phone through the developer API. Call records stay in the AI Phone dashboard.

How Zendesk connects today

AI Phone does not have a native Zendesk app or connector. Zendesk connects through the AI Phone developer API: anything that can send an HTTPS request with your workspace API key in an X-API-Key header — a Zendesk automation that calls a webhook, or an automation tool such as Zapier or Make — can create leads in AI Phone with POST /public/leads.

What happens after a lead arrives

The lead is created in AI Phone as soon as the request succeeds. Auto Campaigns can have an AI agent call uncontacted leads during your business hours, ask your qualifying questions, and book appointments into a connected Google Calendar. Results stay in AI Phone; nothing is written back into Zendesk automatically.

Core capabilities

Lead intake through the developer API

Send a new lead from Zendesk to POST /public/leads with your workspace API key, and AI Phone creates it ready for follow-up. The /developers page documents every field with cURL, JavaScript, and Python examples.

Read leads back

GET /public/leads/{id} returns a lead you created, so Zendesk or your middleware can check it from its side. GET /public/agents lists the AI agents in your workspace.

CSV import for existing lists

Export a contact list from Zendesk and import it as a CSV file on the AI Phone Leads page when you want AI agents to work through an existing list.

AI follow-up with Auto Campaigns

Auto Campaigns has an AI agent call uncontacted leads automatically, inside the business hours you set.

Data out by export

Export leads as CSV from the Leads page or send them to a connected Google Sheet, then import them into Zendesk if you need them there. AI Phone does not write call logs, summaries, dispositions, or recordings into Zendesk.

Common use cases

Use case

Call new Zendesk leads automatically

A Zendesk automation — or a Zapier or Make step — posts each new lead to the AI Phone developer API. Auto Campaigns then has an AI agent call the lead during business hours.

Use case

Review results, then export

Call outcomes stay in AI Phone. When you want them in Zendesk, export leads as CSV or work from a connected Google Sheet; there is no automatic sync back into Zendesk.

Frequently asked questions

Does AI Phone natively integrate with Zendesk?

No. AI Phone does not have a native Zendesk integration, app, or connector. You can send new leads from Zendesk into AI Phone through the developer API — from a Zendesk automation that can call a webhook with a custom header, if your Zendesk plan offers one, or through Zapier or Make.

What data moves between AI Phone and Zendesk?

Only new leads, and only one way: from Zendesk into AI Phone through POST /public/leads (or a CSV import). AI Phone does not send call logs, AI summaries, dispositions, recordings, or SMS history to Zendesk, and changes in Zendesk do not trigger AI Phone unless your own automation sends a lead to the API. To get data out, export leads as CSV or send them to a connected Google Sheet.

Can AI Phone create or update Zendesk tickets?

No. AI Phone does not create, update, or comment on Zendesk tickets, and calls are not logged in Zendesk. Call records stay in the AI Phone dashboard.

How do I set up Zendesk with AI Phone?

Create an API key under Settings → Developers in the AI Phone dashboard. Then configure Zendesk, Zapier, or Make to send an HTTPS POST to /public/leads with the key in the X-API-Key header and the lead's details in the JSON body. There is no Zendesk sign-in or credential screen in AI Phone.

Does anything sync between AI Phone and Zendesk in real time?

No. Nothing syncs to Zendesk. A lead is created in AI Phone when Zendesk or your automation tool sends it to the API, and data leaves AI Phone through CSV export or a connected Google Sheet, which receives new leads every few minutes.
